Lytle Creek- Stonehouse Camp

Another overnighter with Mudman and Rainier.

On the trail…

Camp and craft and crap

Rainier treated us to a fire and soon the cooking and tomfoolery started

Sausage donut?

Sandwich baker

Leprechaun Camp

There is a hammock under this tarp castle

My bed for the night

Lots of camp craft happening

Making a cutting board from dried yucca

Yucca cups made with a coal

Mudman has the original TOPS Laser Strike

The champ of the trip was the Parang

The Parang did a great job, but then I did the same thing with my little carving knife.

My trio for this trip
Hawk, Swiss Army Knife, Camp Knife

Well, hello there

In repair

Tools

Mud made a PVC sheath for his Kota Belud Parang

Mudman brought his Mora Companion so I had to give it a go

Brought out the Old Hickory knife to serve as my food prep and all around woodcraft knife (1 oz knife)

Morning view
From our camp this is what it looked like

This person will remain nameless

I didn’t want to tell the guys, but as I woke up to put some more wood on the fire, I saw this character.

LOL, excellent post man.... that tree is hot !!!!

man I haven't seen a potato bug in years those things still freak me out... don't know why, guess its from being tormented as a child with them...

I knew everything could be done with a glorified butter knife and you just proved it

Nice post Bearthedog. Do you have a source for those parangs that can be ordered and delivered in the states?

 

[Humppa]

Must have been a nice trip! The pics are great. Thanks for sharing this.

Kind regards

Great post, I'm assuming this is the Lytle creek located off the 15. I have shot there many times and never realized it had such great trails. I will for sure get out there. Are the trails easy to find? Thanks...

Awesome pictures Bear. Love those colours and am jealous of them. Green is just starting to sprout these parts but still underwhelming. Looks like you guys had a swell time.

Your threads are like mini vacations, awesome pics as usual.

I think the little Old Hickory paring knives are great blades. I just wish I was more talented at leather making, a nice sheath is what it really needs :thumbup:

 

[pitdog]

Great stuff buddy, there is just something I like about those Laser Strikes !

 

[sasha]

Hey one of those days I got to join you guys on one of the trips.

 

[tknife]

Somehow I missed the booby tree the first time through. Now I'm really glad I looked at the pics again

 

[Crazyotter]

Great post! And I'll bite, what hawk is that?

That little knife is super sharp and thin. It does what I want a small knife in a camp to do, carve, whittle, and serve as a kitchen/craft knife. I got a Hawk to do all the brute work.

Nice post Bearthedog. Do you have a source for those parangs that can be ordered and delivered in the states?

Yes,
Outdoor Dynamics is the only place you can get them that I know of. I got them there when I was in Malaysia.

It is the same place. Do you live near there?

Glad to have you along the trip in that case.

A little leather would make this knife even cooler.

Hey one of those days I got to join you guys on one of the trips.

You are always welcome my friend!

THE Dude man...







The Big Lebowski. For some reason that pick just reminded me of him.

Great pics, as usual. Great to see a Old Hickory being utilized. :thumbup:

It is super light and I think it was cheap when I got it about 6 years ago. Thin, slicer and wood carver with no nonsense 1095.

THE Dude!

I have a stack of Old Hickorys that I can get wild sharp but they don't stay that way. I guess that is why I have a stack. They butcher deer alright.

Is the Leprechaun hitting a bong?

 

[grunt soldier]
